Instructor Certification Training Program (ICTP)
NCCER has developed the Instructor Certification Training Program (ICTP) as part of the accreditation process. This program ensures uniform and consistent training. Through this program, NCCER certifies the Master Trainer, who in turn certifies the local Craft Instructor. This network of certified instructors assures that NCCER training programs meet the standards of instruction set by the industry. Safety Kinetics Consulting & Construction employs Master Trainers for local instructor certification training.
Prerequisites
Prior to attending the training and according to NCCER guidelines, all potential craft instructors are required to submit journey-level documentation of skill for the requested craft areas in which the potential craft instructor wishes to teach. Send completed application and documentation of skill to the Administrative Director for approval prior to being accepted into the class. Upon approval by the sponsor representative of the documentation of skill, you will be contacted to confirm your registration and answer any questions.
ICTP Instructor Application can be downloaded here: ICTP – Instructor Application
Documentation of skill may be any or all of the following:
Resume of actual work experience in industry in craft area(s) with references to verify skill set
